Effectiveness of high efficiency particulate (HEPA) air condition combined with the antifungal prophylaxis on incidence, morbidity and mortality of invasive fungal infections in patients with acute myeloid leukemia: a retrospective single-center stud
In summary, the study suggests the efficacy of secondary antifungal prophylaxis in preventing IFI in AML patients undergoing intensive treatment. The addition of HEPA filtration also demonstrated additional numerous benefits in reducing the frequency of IFI-associated complications.
